March 19
As the coach of a basketball team of fourth and fifth graders I noted before the last game that everyone had scored except Melissa. In the closing minute I told Missey to camp near the basket and for the boys to pass the ball to her. They did. With two hands she pushed the ball up. It hit under the rim and bounced back to her. She pushed it up again and this time it went in the basket. Cheers and high fives all around.
A happy Missey came to the sideline. I gave her a congratulatory hug. I had no way of knowing it then, but this happy ten-year-old would be the mother of three of my grandchildren.
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..." (Jeremiah 1:5)
